Report: Philip Rivers could be benched for Tyrod Taylor if interception woes continue

In a season of quarterback benchings, no one is safe. Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is definitely in unsafe territory going into Week 13.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Chargers could bench Rivers if he continues to produce turnovers, which has been an unwelcome feature of his games over the past several weeks.

Rivers, 37, has been with the Chargers for 16 seasons. While he’s normally pretty steady, he’s fallen into a major slump over his past two games. He threw seven total interceptions in those two games, the most he’s ever give up in consecutive games in his entire career.
